Canceling Student Loan Debt Is Unfair to Millions of Taxpayers
President Biden's decision to circumvent Congress and unilaterally cancel student loan debt has horrible ramifications for our nation's future. This isn't imaginary money. President Biden just shifted all that student loan debt onto other taxpayers who are already dealing with high inflation.
About 85 percent of Americans don’t have any student loan debt, and they’re going to be paying for about 15 percent of Americans who do. Liberal elites should go ask for a rebate from the college, not from the hardworking taxpayers of America. Debt "forgiveness" is just another liberal scam for the elites paid for by working class Americans.
Discussing South Louisiana Priorities With WWL
I had the chance to sit down in-studio with WWL to talk about issues affecting South Louisiana residents like rising flood insurance premiums and President Biden and Speaker Pelosi's $700 billion-plus tax-and-spending spree that will raise the cost of everything from gas prices to goods at the grocery store for hardworking families.
FEMA's new flood insurance rating system, known as Risk Rating 2.0, will make flood insurance unaffordable while increasing the number of uninsured properties in our state. It has even been reported that thousands of policyholders have already dropped their flood insurance coverage since Risk Rating 2.0 went into effect. I'm continuing to call on FEMA to be more transparent about Risk Rating 2.0, and I remain committed to working in Congress to pursue a long-term reform and reauthorization of NFIP that keeps flood insurance affordable for policyholders.
I also raised concerns about the bill President Biden just signed that not only raises new taxes and new spending, which will increase inflation, but also adds 87,000 new IRS agents to go after low- and middle-income families making under $400,000 a year, which is a direct violation of President Biden's promise during the 2020 campaign.

Reflecting on the Anniversary of Hurricanes Katrina and Ida
August 29th marks the 17th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall and the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Ida.
As our communities continue to recover from Ida's devastating impacts and the scars of Katrina still remain, I'm reminded of the perseverance the people of South Louisiana have shown the world in the face of unprecedented loss.
Our communities continue to work together to rebuild our communities stronger than before, but we know there's still progress to be made to ensure residents can get back on their feet.
